This is the selfie trick that models swear by

• There's an easy to trick to take the perfect selfie.• Use your hands to cover your zits or show off your manicure.• Famous models use this hack to get millions of likes.

There's an art to taking the perfect selfie — hell, Kim Kardashian made a career of it. But for most of us, taking the time to master every new selfie craze (the duck lips, the fish face, phone accessories, etc.) isn't a priority. That's why the latest selfie hack isn't about feigning perfection. Instead, it's about embracing your natural self, without the use of Photoshop and fish-face poses.

The selfie hack, as Glamour.com explains, makes use of your hands. Want bigger lips? Use your fingers to emphasize your natural pout. Have a zit you just can't mask with makeup? Cover it by showcasing your new mani. At the end of the day, this selfie trick is about acknowledging your perceived "flaws" and, instead of airbrushing them out, embracing them.

The goal is to look natural, not fake. The mere idea of a designated selfie pose might seem a little ridiculous. Admittedly, it is. But silliness aside, the point of taking a selfie is to showcase our best (or ideal) selves to our friends and family through a photo. And as this trick proves, you don't need a million airbrushing and filter apps to look your best. An empowering message for such a silly trick, don't you think?

Celebs and models use this trick all the time in their photos, and it works. Check out some of the best examples below, and think of all the ways you can spend your free time now that you don't need to practice your duck face in the mirror. You can thank us (and these influencers) later. Try it without makeup, and let your true beauty shine.
